Mining and Fiber Optic Sensing Technology

Mining and Fiber Optic Sensing Technology

Recent advances in Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing (DOFS) technologies, particularly Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (BOTDA) and Rayleigh Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (ROTDR), have opened new pathways for real-time, high-resolution monitoring in mining. The methodology involves embedding the sensing fiber into boreholes within the overlying strata and employing grouting to achieve effective coupling with the rock mass, a critical step that restores the in situ geological environment and ensures measurement reliability. Precise monitoring and early warning of these factors are essential for disaster prevention and control. A critical aspect of this management is ground control, focusing on addressing rock instabilities that arise from the mining processes and ore removal. In an era where mining operations strive to balance economic growth with safety and efficiency, the integration of Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology is reshaping the industry.

Fiber Optic Sensing Effects

Fiber Optic Sensing Effects

Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required. This is the power of fiber optic sensing, a technology that transforms ordinary optical fibers into the digital world's sensory network. This review summarizes recent progress and emerging trends in multiparameter optical fiber sensing, emphasizing techniques that enable the simultaneous measurement of temperature, strain, acoustic waves, pressure, and other environmental quantities within a single sensing network.
